Hero of the Penalty Area

Liverpool did not announce their new plan, but the shrewd media still found some clues because they smelled an unusual smell.

There are two more league games before the start of the UEFA Champions League, both of which Liverpool has achieved final victories. In one match, Liverpool beat Blackburn 2-0 away. Another match was the Merseyside Derby. Liverpool beat Everton 1-0 at home.

It's normal for Liverpool to beat Blackburn on the road. What is unusual is that there are too few goals. Facing a team like Chelsea, they can all score seven, but only two against Blackburn, even if it is Blackburn's home game, it is not like that. Suddenly those teams that have been abused by Liverpool are psychologically unbalanced...

If the two-goal win over Blackburn only upset the teams that have been abused by Liverpool, then the next game surprised many people.

The second game is the Merseyside Derby. In fact, the Merseyside Derby has existed in name for more than ten years. Even in the nine months of Chen Yingxiong's suspension, Everton has not beaten Liverpool at his home court. The difference in strength between the two sides is very huge. Everton has completely become a foil for Liverpool.

But as a result, Liverpool only won one goal in this game, which surprised many people. They originally thought Liverpool would easily beat each other.

Unexpectedly, in this game, Gerrard started a rotation, most of the main players did not play, so Liverpool only won one goal at home.

This really surprised many people.

With the strength difference between Everton and Liverpool, it is at Liverpool's home court. Liverpool does not win four or five goals, which can hardly be called a win.

But Liverpool really only won one goal.

Chen Yingxiong scored the only goal in the game. If it weren't for him, maybe Liverpool wouldn't have won.

This must be something wrong.

Many people noticed Gerrard's rotation.

In the first half of the season, the team also faced a two-line battle in the domestic league and the Champions League group stage. At that time, Gerrard did not use rotation. Because he knows if you use rotation. The result may be a two-line fiasco. So he gritted his teeth and insisted on using a main lineup.

He didn't think of the second half of the season, but he suddenly started a rotation.

In fact, rotation is not impossible. It is surprising that people do not rotate like the first half of the season.

But when Liverpool rotates, everyone thinks that it should abandon the Champions League and ensure the domestic league. After all, everyone knows what Liverpool and Chen Yingxiong's biggest wish are now. They value this league title very much this season. If they really want to choose one of the two, they should decisively abandon the Champions League and choose the domestic league.

How could it be like this. Rotate in the domestic league, but keep the main force in the Champions League?

Are they planning to abandon the domestic league?

Even if they are still behind, it is not a reason to give up the domestic league. After all, they are not much behind. After their catching up, they are only eight points behind Arsenal, who are in first place. Judging from Liverpool's performance after January, they are in very good shape. The momentum is also very good, and this eight-point gap is nothing to them at all.

It makes no sense to give up the domestic league.

If they think that the overall situation of the domestic league is set, they can definitely win the league championship, but they are too confident, right? Anyway, it's still eight points behind... Now I feel that if I can win the league championship casually, I'm afraid I will suffer a big loss in the end!

So after seeing their performance, everyone was a little confused.

Inter Milan coach Stella Maggioni is studying the recent Liverpool game, and Liverpool's strange performance in the last two games naturally attracted his attention.

He also wondered about Gerrard's rotation. It stands to reason that Liverpool's focus this season should be on the domestic league.

Everyone knows the grievances between Liverpool and Manchester United.

Does Liverpool want to do their best in the Champions League? For this reason they can only rotate in the domestic league?

This explanation seems reasonable. But it doesn't make sense at all, because...Why would they do this?

Liverpool's goal this season is the league championship, and it is also Chen Yingxiong's biggest wish before he retires. Chen Yingxiong has won ten Champions League titles in his career and is the player who has won the most Champions League titles in history. The Champions League champion should not be attractive to him, right?

So why does Liverpool have to rotate specifically for the Champions League?

Stella Maggioni was puzzled.

Although he didn't understand, he still had to prepare. Prepare for the game on the premise that Liverpool will do everything in the Champions League.

Stella Maggioni is "second in the palace", this is his second time coaching Inter Milan. He has coached for three seasons and won a league title and an Italian Cup title, but it is difficult to make any progress in the Champions League. That was when Liverpool completely monopolized the Champions League, let alone Inter Milan. No one of the other European giants would want to steal this honor from Liverpool.

Later, after the contract expired. Inter Milan did not renew the contract with Stella Maggioni. Stella Maggioni was also planning to go to other places to practice again, so he left Inter Milan.

Wandering around outside. After coaching Rome and Fiorentina, Sampdoria and other teams, he has now been invited back by Inter Milan.

Under his leadership, Inter Milan re-emerged. It has been four seasons since he coached Inter Milan for the second time. In these four seasons, he has won two league titles and three Coppa Italia championships for Inter Milan, in addition to two Italian Super Cup titles. Of course, the most important thing is Under his leadership, Inter Milan regained the Champions League title, although only once, it was enough for Stella Maggioni to enter the ranks of European coaches.

Because of his outstanding performance, Inter Milan renewed his contract for another three seasons.

It can be said that he is the representative of the backbone of the current European football coaches.

Mourinho is already old, and Stella Maggioni is likely to take his place.

Stramaccioni’s success is justified. In the face of an unclear situation, he was still cautious and made the most serious preparations.

Although he has won many championships, he is still very humble.

The Champions League quarter-finals are about to begin.

The media on both sides also started to hype.

The biggest highlight of this game is that Chen Yingxiong will return to the Champions League stage after nine months. What kind of performance can he bring to everyone? In the domestic league, he has responded to the doubts with practical actions. So in the Champions League, can he still do this?

After all, the Champions League is not the Premier League. The knockout stage of the Champions League is much higher than the Premier League.

What he can do well in the Premier League does not mean that he can do as well in the Champions League.

It is normal for people to look at this game with such suspicion.

The Italian media is divided into two factions, one faction questioned Chen Yingxiong's performance in the Champions League. What they said is justified and well-founded, and people have to believe it.

They cited the example of Liverpool not winning the Champions League in the last six seasons to illustrate that Chen Yingxiong is not a panacea. Liverpool lost the league title because Chen Yingxiong was suspended for nine months, which makes sense. Because when Chen Yingxiong was not suspended, Liverpool had always been a league champion, and fools could see how important Chen Yingxiong was for Liverpool to win the league championship.

But when Chen Yingxiong was not suspended, Liverpool had not won the Champions League for five seasons. This shows that even with Chen Yingxiong, Liverpool may not be able to win in the Champions League. Chen Yingxiong may still be dominant in the Premier League, but in the Champions League, his power is obviously weakened.

This also shows that the Champions League is more difficult than the Premier League, and the level is higher.

Therefore, there is nothing to be afraid of after Chen Yingxiong comes back.

He was unable to help Liverpool win the Champions League again. Now he has been suspended for nine months and is still nearly 41 years old. In terms of his body and strength, it is even more impossible.

So Inter Milan don't have to worry, they can beat each other in the face of Liverpool with Chen hero.

The views of this school of media are the most accepted, and many people think they are right.

Because of these six seasons, they have all seen Liverpool's performance. Chen Yingxiong can no longer help Liverpool turn the situation around by himself. This is the change that everyone has been watching.

They don’t believe that after nine months of suspension, Chen Yingxiong has become even more powerful...

There is also a view that Chen Yingxiong’s comeback is a major benefit for Liverpool. He may not be able to bring any direct strength enhancement to the team, but he can improve the morale of the team. This is from his comeback. After Liverpool's game can be seen. After the morale of the team has improved, Liverpool is terrible. Of course, now Liverpool can no longer monopolize the championship, they have not won the championship for six seasons. But despite this, they are still strong contenders, or the ability to disrupt the situation.

And the other faction obviously didn't figure out a problem-even if Liverpool can't win the championship, they can always make it into the quarterfinals, the semifinals and even the finals. This is the eighth-finals. In the past six seasons, Liverpool have only two times stopped to be strong, and the remaining four times have passed the eighth-finals.

Doesn't this explain the problem?

Whether Liverpool can win the Champions League or not, this does not need Inter Milan to worry about. Even if they don't win the championship, as long as they can beat you Inter Milan and knock you out of the game, it will do. It’s their own business where Liverpool go and then stop, and you Inter Milan will stop in the eighth-finals.

No matter what Liverpool and Chen Yingxiong are like, they at least have this strength.

Not many people support this view, because most people firmly believe that Inter Milan is stronger than Liverpool. In their view, not only did Liverpool fail to win the championship, they would definitely not be able to beat Inter Milan in the eighth-finals!
